You would likely want to filter on the ID, and then do a get. See examples here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/queryclass.html
<http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/queryclass.html>See also the Python Memcache API instructions here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/memcache/ <http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/memcache/>Memcache will also be generally cheaper than datastore queries, if you ever go over quota on your app and need to enable billing. I highly recommend checking it out. - pamela On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 5:25 AM, eng.ma2m...@gmail.com < eng.ma2m...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks but actually I use Python not Java. > > Maybe it is the query I execute, and you might help me in this.
